The full picture

₦99,500
Gonorrhoea and chlamydia by PCR, the test WHO recommends for both, with HIV, syphilis and hepatitis B. One sample, collected at home.
Book the Complete screenWhich test do I need?
Two questions. A test taken too early can come back clear when it should not, so the answer depends on when the risk was.
1. Any burning, discharge, itching or a sore?
2. When was the risk?
What confidential actually means here
Most people in Lagos do not avoid testing because of the cost. They avoid it because of the waiting room. So we designed the waiting room out of it.
Nobody at your gate knows
The nurse comes in plain clothes with an unmarked bag. No branded car, no logo, nothing for anyone to ask about.
Nothing is named in writing
Your confirmation message says your appointment and a reference. It never names the test, because someone else may pick up your phone.
Nothing on your statement says health
The payment shows Paystack and Consult for Africa. No clinic, no test, not even the word health.
A doctor, not a text message
If anything comes back positive, a doctor calls you the same day. Treatment starts at once, and it stays with us.
The tests, and what each one costs
Every price includes home collection, and a doctor calls you if anything needs treating. Nothing gets added at the door.

What people want to know first
Is toilet infection an STI?
You cannot catch an infection from a toilet seat. What people call toilet infection is usually thrush (a yeast infection) or bacterial vaginosis, neither of which is sexually transmitted, but the same discharge and itching can also be trichomonas, chlamydia or gonorrhoea, which are. They need different treatments, which is why chemist treatment so often fails. A doctor can tell which it is and treat it.
What is the most accurate test for gonorrhoea and chlamydia?
A PCR test (also called NAAT) on a urine sample or a swab you take yourself. It is the test WHO recommends for both. Rapid tests and antibody tests miss infections or pick up old ones. Our Complete screen uses PCR, with HIV, syphilis and hepatitis B, for ₦99,500.
Will anyone find out?
No. The nurse comes in plain clothes. Your confirmation message carries a reference and nothing else. Your statement shows Paystack and Consult for Africa, so there is nothing medical on it to notice. Results go only to the phone you booked with. We do not contact your HMO, your employer or your family.
What shows up on my bank statement?
Paystack and Consult for Africa. That is the whole line. Consult for Africa is the company Mezo sits under, and it reads like any consulting invoice. No clinic, no test, nothing medical. If someone else opens your statement, there is nothing in it to find.
How long until I know?
The Essential screen comes back within 24 hours. The Complete screen takes up to 72 hours, because the gonorrhoea and chlamydia test is a PCR run in the lab. A rapid HIV test gives you an answer in 20 minutes at your kitchen table.
What if something is positive?
A Mezo doctor calls you the same day, free. Most of what we screen for is treatable and several are curable outright. You get a prescription and a plan, and if you need ongoing care you stay inside the Mezo network rather than being sent away to explain yourself somewhere new.
Do I need an appointment with a doctor first?
No. You can go straight to a screen. If you would rather talk first, book the private consult and the doctor will tell you which tests actually make sense for your situation.
How soon after exposure should I test?
It depends on the infection. HIV antibody tests are reliable from about four weeks and conclusive by twelve. Chlamydia and gonorrhoea can be picked up from about two weeks. If you are inside those windows, book the consult first and the doctor will tell you when to test.
Can my partner and I do this together?
Yes, and it is cheaper. The couples screen covers two people in one visit at less than two separate bookings, with separate private reports and a joint counselling call if you both want one.
